Glad I didn't need to use the benefits, but also glad I got the policy. The coverage was quite comprehensive and if I had had any trouble on my trip, I would have been covered. It felt like a lot of money to spend for a policy, but the peace of mind was worth it.

The airline lost our luggage, and when I called a representative, they said I had to wait 24 hours to buy any basic needs, which was quite frustrating. Also, any claims of lost baggage required a sales slip for all items. Why would I have a sales slip from five years ago? Representative refused to put any pressure on airline to locate luggage.

We are sorry to hear that your baggage was lost. The AXA Assistance USA Gold Policy requires that the baggage is delayed for a full 24 hours before the Baggage Delay benefit can be utilized. In the event that the airline is not able to recover your lost luggage, the policy does allow for a claim under the Baggage/Personal Effects benefit without receipts and reads as follows: For items over .00 in value which have been lost or stolen, you must provide documentation of the original purchase price. If the original receipt is not available, benefits will be calculated based upon the Actual Cash Value (cost less proper deduction for depreciation value) at the time of loss. Please accept our apology if this was not explained clearly by the representative and caused confusion. Because we are not directly affiliated with the airline, we are limited in what we can do in order to expedite locating your luggage.Jun 29,2015 -

I had the same thing happen to me as well and it was extremely frustrating. I was eventually paid by the airline, but the insurance that I had purchased never would approve the claim. Once the airlines had reimbursed my loss, I dropped the issue and did not pursue anything with the insurance. It taught me a valuable lesson. 1. I make sure I read the fine print on baggage coverage. 2. I take photos of my baggage at the ticket counter as it's being laid on the conveyer belt, and usually I'll include a picture of the Airline agent as well. 3. I have a photo shot of my belongings in that suitcase.
It may sound like a lot of work, but it really isn't. But it’s the only action I know I can take to protect myself. When your bag is either missing, stolen or damaged, they’re first to point the finger at someone else and thus the games begin. You’ll spend a lot of your time explaining the same story over and over to different people throughout the whole process.
It took me nearly 27 days to get the airliner to send me a check to replace the items including the suitcase. Some people thought that was quick and others thought that it was really slow. I really do not know the correct answer.
I now get insurance on my trips, but I carefully read the details of the insurance policy and if I have a question, I will usually write an email to have someone explain it to me. If I am unable too, I move on to another insurance company. I hope this helps others.Jul 02,2015-

I would not recommend CSA because I don't know if it's better or worse than others. However my experience with CSA has been very satisfactory.

I have used CSA before and needed to file a claim. Although it seemed to take a long time for a settlement, I felt that what I received was fair and the coverage was good. Luckily, I didn't have to use the insurance this time, but will use it again. and would not travel without it.

Fortunately, we didn't need to file a claim, but I did need to call the toll free number to get help connecting with my credit card company. Long story, but the collect number to use when out of the country provided by the credit card company was "blocked" when I tried to call. The AXA Assistance help line connected me directly to Chase. I was in the Stockholm airport at 8am at the time and I was able to resolve my issue. I saved myself a $10 fee and 24% interest, so I consider my purchase of the AXA plan to have been very, very valuable!

I did not file a claim so I have no way of knowing whether the coverage was good or not. I don't even know if I was covered for anything. That is my fault. I should have called when I couldn't find the answers in the policy. A better explanation of "Primary Coverage Required" would be appreciated.

This is a good opportunity for us to advise you that detailed information is available to you within the quote. You can click on "View Certificate" to read through the entire plan or you can click on "Primary Coverage Required" to be directed right to that section of the policy.
The GeoBlue Voyager Choice plan only allows travelers with primary health insurance in the United States to purchase the policy. The Underwriters define a Primary Plan as a Group Health Benefit Plan, an individual health benefit plan, or certain governmental health plan (including Medicare Supplements and Medicare Advantage plans) designed to be the first payor of claims for an Insured Person prior to the responsibility of this Plan. Although Medicare does qualify as primary coverage, Medicaid and Veterans Administration health benefit plans do not.Feb 18,2016
